I did my first exam yesterday (Family Living) and it was almost embarrassingly easy. I swear, anyone who never took this course, but went to the exam would be able to get every question except one. There was that much common sense. A lot of writing, though. I wrote a total of 12 pages...my wrist is still kind of crampy. Alex was waiting for me after the exam (with the smartcar, everyone was laughing at me :P ) and left a present on the seat for me...Grease on DVD with a sing-a-long part in the special features. YES. Now everyone will realize that I was born to be Sandy. Lmao. Happy one year. :)

Ok, so now I'm studying (ish) for my English exam which is on Friday. It's going to be on the novel "The Catcher in the Rye" (which I am already sick of, thanks to all the essays and assignments we had to do on it) and Edgar Allen Poe. For the novel part we have to pick 3 (or was it 4?) symbols in the novel and write about them. Doesn't sound too difficult. Except I slacked off in English all year and have to do well on the exam in order to get a decent grade in the class.

I was just watching my kittens playing on the floor, and I realized there aren't any pictures of them on my website...so I'm going to put some on right now. :) They are adorable.

So recently I have been informed (by a person who shall remain nameless, but I'll give you a hint: his name is Alex) that there are too many pictures of me on here. Of course my initial response to that was "EFF YOU NO THERE ISN'T!" then later I realized that yes, yes there are a lot of pictures of me. God I feel so selfish and conceited. Someone should have told me a lot sooner. Some friends I have.
**Btw, get better please Brodie, I need you. :(**
So yeah, at the moment I'm working on deleting useless pictures of myself that are not needed.
Hopefully this will make some people happier, and other people think more respectfully of me.

"I have spoken...All depart."

Soooo...Saturday Amanda T and Amanda A and Wade show up at my house and we decide a good idea is to go mudding in Wade's Jeep. Yes. So we drive all the way to St.Stephen and find a lovely little sand/mud pit, take the top off the Jeep and have at her. But of course that isn't fun enough, we have to get out of the Jeep and roll down the mountains of sand, and of course after I roll down and (hours) later make it back up the sand mountain, Amanda A decides it is a good idea to tell me that what we are doing is illegal! Hence the concrete blocks and chains blocking off the entrance to the pit. Oh well, we had fun anyway...and I'm still waiting on Tatton to put those pictures on Facebook so I can put them on HERE. They are priceless.

Oh, and the theatre arts thing went great...but that's old news.
I also finished my photography course...hours early. :)

I'm having so much trouble with these stupid photography assignments. I think the major issue is because I don't have access to any super good models for the photos. Alex doesn't know yet, but he's my main model.

Performing tomorrow...ahhhh...not to mention i'm completely NOT ready, as per usual.

Brodie...I had a lovely time yesterday, sorry if I embarrassed you and Josh haha. You better be at school today, I've decided just now that you can be my other model.

Today is my last Monday at school ever?? Oh my god, where did school go? I was just cruising along, and then all of a sudden it's June, and school is basically over. Now I'm stuck working my ass off to finish my photography course by Friday. Friday at 6:pm exactly, says Maureen. And I still have 4 assignments left. And then all of a sudden I realize that I am performing for "the public" at the arena theatre on wednesday! That's two days away and I feel hardly ready at all. And of course I'm not in one play but three now. A sarcastic narrator, a young teen girl and a serial killer...which reminds me, somehow I need to learn how to tuck and roll on stage without bruising my knees anymore than they already are. So...one week of school left, then 2 exams the next week, and then graduation the next week. Christ. Completely not prepared at all.

On a positive note, the opening for my art classes art went extremely well. A nice little turnout. Everyone loved my etched tree. Robert says there is going to be an auction at the YC sometime in the next week or so, where our art will be auctioned off. Maybe I'll sell a piece, that would be a nice boost to the self esteem.

Ok, so we didn't get eaten alive by mosquitoes, but I did get bronchitis and a sinus infection. So...I'm thinking that's a little bit worse than fly bites. I never want to go camping again, they should have special places for allergy people like me to go to when they decide they need to get in touch with nature. Hah. Apparently nature hates me and never wants me to come back.

Oh, and of course not to mention the wild animals that were running around our tent, eating other little animals, while they screamed in pain. I never thought the sound of flesh ripping and bones crunching could be so intense. I'm lucky to be alive.

I almost froze to death too. The temperature had to be below 0 during the night. I really thought I was going to dye from hypothermia. Why do people go camping? It's HORRIBLE. I'll take a hotel room over sleeping on the ground anytime damn it.

I got a sunburn on my face, too.
I guess I'm just not the camping type.
Camping pics will be up sometime soon.
Whenever I feel able to go upstairs to get them.

So...I'm going camping tomorrow at New River Beach. I absolutely can't wait until I can be eaten to death my mosquitos. Yay.
Ah, stupid bell just went...god damn family living class next.
